Turning the world on it's head - lightpainting with a camera rotation device

Last night at the last minute, we ventured out in to the dark in to our local woods. I took along my camera rotation device and these are the results.

Turning the world on it's head in the blue hour

For this shot I rotated the camera at a 45 degree angle and used a red gelled Godox AD200 to light up the background. The red tends to make the flash a little dimmer so I fired the flash about 8 times here making sure the model keeps perfectly still. Once I capture the first half of the image, I replace the lens cap without ending the exposure while the model rushes to the flashgun and changes the gel to the blue fabric conditioner bottle ( I like to improvise... ) The blue over the flash is much brighter than the red so I fired only twice for this half of the image. I also shot this in the blue hour so it's important to expose both halves for the same length of time.

Rotating the world 4 ways

This is made using the same technique but rotated in four positions at 90 degrees. Camera rotation photography can sometimes unexpected results and four ways here has got me wondering which one is better, two or four ways.
